Alice Liddell is dead and Wonderland is still reeling from a revolution that spanned the entire kingdom. A new King sits upon the throne - Jack, the former Knave of Hearts and once prince and revolution leader, is learning to cope with his new position as monarch of Wonderland. The tests to find new Alices in hopes of restoring Wonderland's magic continue as her inhabitants slowly pieces her back together. Yet questions still linger: where are the old King and his Queen? And how long can the vast array of Wonderlanders keep themselves hidden from the rest of London during their increasingly frequent trips to the city so far beyond the looking glass?
Welcome to Far Beyond The Looking Glass, a present day rp based on the characters from Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass and What Alice Found There. It is currently Autumn 2014 in London, England, and Wonderland is currently experiencing an autumn-like season, too. Have a look around and don't be afraid to pop in the cbox if you have a question as we're quite a friendly bunch. We hope you decide to join and welcome!

QUOTE/LYRICS: Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player That struts and frets his hour upon the stage And then is heard no more: it is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing.

EVE

This isn't really an absence but a promise to try and do better and an explanation for why that hasn't been the case recently.

I suffer from anxiety and depression and these past couple of weeks have been particularly bad. In the way that last week I had four anxiety attacks total and two breakdowns and I'm still a bit shaky. Money situation is crap, it's a bit touch and go for when and how we're going to be able to move house before our lease is up on the 21st of January, I'm stressed out essentially, and my muse is suffering a bit.

I am going to do my best to get some posts out this week but basically I'm just asking you to bear with x

An annual event held in Hyde park. Every Winter the Belgian market comes to life in the centre of Hyde park, comprising of stalls selling anything from handmade Christmas decorations and plates and other little trinkets- to bratwurst and pretzels and apples smothered in toffee. There are fairground rides and beer tents and a giant ice rink. Sure, it can be a little pricey... but it's definitely worth it for the atmosphere, with live music played by a variety of bands in one of the many tents providing shelter from the oncoming chill.<p><br><br></div></div><div class="ptem7"><div class="ptem8"></div></div></center>[/dohtml]

In a bid to raise morale further, and to extend a benevolent arm to the people of Wonderland most affected by the recent War, Rhiannon Lowell, the new Queen of Hearts is hosting a gala in the Palace grounds. Travel has been arranged so that everyone from all corners of Wonderland may attend, and they will be treated to a spectacular feast comprised from the efforts of local farmers and the Palace's own stores. There will be jousting tournaments, along with traditional Wonderland music and dancing, and some other games. It's all very strictly Wonderland, with no London involvement (note: this includes fashion)- intending to help Wonderlanders remember their heritage and let go of the stress that's held the land in a vice-like grip since the Revolution.<p>

All proceeds will go toward the restoration of the realm.<br><br></div></div><div class="ptem7"><div class="ptem8"></div></div></center>[/dohtml]

To compliment our posting competition we're setting up three different roulettes. They are not obligatory, but they can help you with setting up a few new threads and some interesting plots can come of it! There's a site-wide one, and then one for each of the events. Please note that only Wonderlanders and Cards can sign up for the Gala, but everyone can sign up to the other two.<P>

Sign-ups close on the <b>5th</b> and partners and prompts will be announced then.<p>

Okay! The rules for the monthly character of the month interview are very simple;
